CCR 07-24-18 Spelling Responsibility

the   Controversial  Committee   Report
“We don’t raise sacred cows...we just butcher them.”

“Spelling Responsibility”

   Well, dear readers, staff of the CCR knows school is out and summer vacations are in full swing.  However, there are times when education must take precedent over fun times. 

   With this in mind, the Irving political swamp is still bubbling under all the heat provided by Bill Bob and Irving Taxpayers Matter director, Chis Allen related to the law suits filed by them against the City of Irving and ARK.  (Remember, they are both using the same lawyer!)  

   Of course, doesn’t Councilman Alan Meagher still appear to be toting pails of Torofeca to keep their swamp rancid?  And his TV interviews only demonstrate his full allegiance to Billy Bob and Chris Allen.  All of his recent  “fake fact” TV interviews are only rivaled by ex-mayor BVDs attempts to paint untrue narratives.

   Is Meagher, Billy Bob, or Chris Allen the major string puller to add Anthony Bond and Lisette Caraballo as part of their legal swamp/bad PR and disinformation cabal?  

   Regardless, the string pullers should at least provide them with fresh and truer talking points, or at the very least — factual talking points.  Another question could be: Are these individuals being paid to prop up and spread all their disingenuous blathering?

   Understanding all this, get your pencils out for a spelling pop quiz.  Eyes on your own paper now!

   First question: Write the word that means: Excuse oneself from a cause because of a possible conflict of interest or lack of impartiality.

   If you wrote the word “recuse, then grab your sun tan lotion and head to Hurricane Harbor and cool off for the rest of the day.

   For those who failed the test and do not know what “recuse” means, isn’t it time to become actively involved, as a tax payer, to  assist those council members who are attempting to do the right thing for the city and ARK?  Without your attention, the city is on the verge of lengthy legal issues from the swamp fillers…who want to benefit from their self-serving agenda by grabbing unwarranted bucks.  Does the city really need to bail Billy Bob off…AGAIN?

   And while those who passed the spelling test are enjoying their outing, they should call/e-mail city council members to express their opinion on these legal swampy shenanigans.  (The council names and numbers are listed below.)

   If you do contact city council members, perhaps, mention Councilman Alan Meagher might just want to recuse himself from any future discussions regarding the legal swamp created around the Entertainment Center by Billy Bob and Chris Allen.

   After all, Irving doesn’t deserve another Billy Bob/Irving Taxpayers Matter legal stench which drags down all the good PR and attendance the Entertainment Center has provide the city since its opening by ARK  

   As previously published in a CCR mailing, Pollstar magazine has ranked the Irving Toyota Music Factory as 9th in the Top 50 Amphitheaters worldwide for the first six months of 2018!  This grand PR can only be damaged by lawsuits which have been instigated by Billy Bob and Irving Taxpayers Matter director, Chris Allen…to gain standing on ARKs ability to recover $44M of TIF funding (not your tax dollars as some in the swamp would intone) which had previously been approved by the Irving City council.

   This desire to grab bucks, by Billy Bob and Irving Taxpayers Matter which had been approved for ARK, would be akin to Clyde Barrow calling a bank president and asking him to send all their money over immediately.  And if the bank president didn’t comply, then Clyde would promise to drop by the bank and rob them at gun point!     

  While it is apparent Meagher has very deep social ties with Billy Bob (having closed some of his bars, in the  wee hours, at the Entertainment Center); and deeper ties with Chris Allen for the financing of his election/re-election campaigns, aren’t those grounds for recusal?  Shouldn’t his objectivity in this matter be questioned?  Or, is his objectivity floating somewhere in the political swamp these folks have created?

   Well, dear readers, the time to take action is here for the rancid swamp created by Billy Bob and Irving Taxpayers Matter director, Chris Allen, who wanting to recoup their interest/investment in a failed operation.  Not tomorrow to take action…today!

   Shouldn’t citizens and the City of Irving stand up and dismiss having a  law suit gun held to their head, by the legal swamp fillers, to pay for any errors in the judgement, or business operations of Billy Bob, or Chris Allen?

   Contact city council members now and inform them you have just obtained your Right To Carry —  An Opinion, and it is aimed at draining this legal swamp before Irving becomes the laughing stock of the entertainment industry.

   And also aim your opinions at Alan Meagher to recuse himself.
